"I completely disagree with your 'hobby' comment. This is a serious project in its initial stages."

 

Then we see this:

"And if it is a shocked crystal, sometimes a spell in the fridge works wonders."

 

So I am wondering is this really a serious project? 

I can understand desperate hobbyists trying the fridge, and I've seen

a number of reported cases where that has helped.  But should that be

any sort of official recommendation?   If so, how long do you leave it in?

Do you take any precautions with regard to condensation?  Would the

freezer work better?   If cold doesn't work, should you try heat next?

Should you try heat first?  Does it continue to work after just one

spell in the fridge?

 

Perhaps a serious project spokesperson would tell us whether or not

a real fix is being developed to prevent such "shocked crystals"?

  • "What are you talking about ? there is nothing wrong with the Pi, it is the most perfect piece of electronic design ever made, nobody has done something

    like this before and we are blindly sure that nobody else can do it better. If there is something wrong it is not the Pi, does your graphics screen run

    slow and slugish, it is because the Pi runs on a different space/time contimuun, do the chips on the board get too hot ? nobody said you can't run it

    inside an ice cube instead of a plastic case that we promised to sell but don't, does the X1 crystal has a faulty connection, it is not a manufacturing

    defect, it is an intended feature to let you learn how to use a soldering iron. And you know what, I'm tired of wasting my time answering your questions

    just do a search on the forum mantained by my minions and let me enjoy the fruit flavored condoms."

    LOL.  Joking aside, the worrying thing is that they really do seem to think that way.  The Pi is beyond criticism, and the people concerned are not only unquestionable experts but also saintly.  And the censorship is obviously correct since perfect people cannot possibly be wrong.  You know it's so.
